@bold - this is the heart of the conflict. Yesterday Gautam even says that Karan loved Tulsi the most, and Karan obviously got furious about it. Karan still loves her but that love is now clouded with anger and hate that he feels for the person who shot and allegedly killed his child, something that he doesn’t understand the reasons for. Had he known the truth he would’ve been still as heartbroken and devastated by the loss but at least he would have his answers, he would understand that his son had already killed a person and was about to kill another. Parth being evil would kill something in Karan but this stupid sacrifice has kept the good son image alive in his head and he also feels like Parth was unjustly punished for something that he didn’t even deserve.
Gautam however has shown that blood doesn’t make someone a good or bad person, it’s who and what you’re underneath it all. Had he simply renovated the place and turned it into a hotel it wouldn’t have been so bad but it’s the idea of him allowing non-veg and also drinks into the same as well as freely consuming at least alcohol in SN that shows his personality. The song played yesterday ends with the words - Hai Parvarish Hi Badi - so technically if we believe Karan was raised by Tulsi per the canon of this season while Gautam wasn’t - that shows. Tulsi’s obviously hurt that Karan hates her now but she understands she kinda walked right into that one - not like this was gonna have any other outcome on him but she was also happy to see Karan being a responsible family member who looks after the kids in his family as well as the love and affection he still holds for Baa and Bapuji as well as their legacy which he believes Gautam is tainting. Gautam wants to project Karan’s taunts are a product of jealousy but he doesn’t want to acknowledge that Karan isn’t angry about Nakul succeeding but he’s simply disgusted by Gautam tainting their values and legacy.
I am sure there’s something about Garu that will be shocking or something. Something tells me that there was more going on there yesterday than what we got. Garu was 5/6 the last we saw her, now she’s gotta be at least 15/6 but how does Samaira look like she’s a couple of years older than her at most is what’s baffling. Samaira should be in her early to mid 20s now. Something tells me there might be a stupid encore of Kasak and Sneha here wherein Sneha is supposed to be older than Kasak by a decade for sure and yet they look like classmates. Urghh, we better not get a love triangle involving the two cousins because urghh.
Honestly the way Karan said bachho ko le aao, I thought were they gonna show he had more kids who are younger with Nandini? Did they adopt a kid or two? But alas…
Also I don’t think that the song Karan played can be classified as a Bhajan technically because it’s a movie song that simply speaks about god granting us strength. The lyrics don’t technically address a particular deity or use any names or even mantras but simply ask for strength from the divine and it’s a very secular song which talks about a supreme power without naming names. I think the song was chosen because it was either play something actually devotional like a real Bhajan, Aarti or something terribly sad and depressing or maybe some Qawwali - basically anything that’s not a foot tapping number that kills the buzz of a party.
I found it hilarious that Gautam thought he could outsmart Karan with the legal permit for the party from the police themselves as he perhaps anticipated this sorta thing but didn’t anticipate Karan would kill the vibe of the party with a song 
Very non-violent and very creative, got the job done too!
Also, you’re right - giving Maharaj Ji to Karan’s side was an indication of who holds the family’s legacy and values. Tulsi even heard how the cook was like, taking one vegetable from Maharaj Ji got him an earful. Wouldn’t surprise me if Gautam initiated the partition between the families… will be funny when he ends up realising he’s Pakistan in this case and not Karan 
Crazy how Tulsi got grey hair but her kids got even younger looking in this decade! Sumeet looks like he lost a couple of years just by shaving his beard off and they even gave a nice makeover to Nandini. I think she looks better in Indian than western clothes tbh. Maybe that’s why Samaira has also had a makeover, she’s simply following her mom’s footsteps. Nandini has perhaps adapted to Indian wear again too and has ditched her westerns, it maybe her coping mechanism because even the simple wardrobe reminded her of the day she shot Parth. So she has completely switched to Indian wear in what small attempts she can do to keep the whole thing off her mind for however long she can.
I think the irony of Vaishnavi’s sacrifice being lost is not just about how no one knows that Parth and Rio meant to do the same but how Nakul is doing it openly and brazenly with the support of his parents who are celebrating and revelling in his success. Parth had to hide the same from his. Also, technically, Parth was at least slightly better in this aspect in the sense that he meant to sell the place to someone else who would do what they wanted with it - here Nakul himself is running the business so likely all the permits and licenses especially regarding selling Liquor are in his name and to get a legal liquor permit in Gujarat is no small feat! We know the state is notorious for legally prohibiting alcohol but the smuggling there of the same is insane if you know the people who can get you the supplies. Would’ve been hilarious if Nakul’s hotel plans were shut down because alcohol was being smuggled into his premises illegally but let’s see, I don’t think this hotel business will last for long anyway because Tulsi is back.
TBH, I also think Nakul looked a bit ashamed of his parents boosting yesterday. But I guess that’s the nature of irony - nature has a funny way of making something happen no matter how much we think we can avoid it. I mean Mahabharata is full of such things, for eg, Gandhari was picked as a bride as she had a boon of having a 100 sons to keep the Kuru dynasty going and especially from Dhritrashtra’s bloodline but we all know how things ended up being eventually.
Also, Vaishnavi was saved by Tulsi so there’s no chance of her being pregnant with Parth’s child who pops up out of nowhere at least. He managed to rip the sleeve of her blouse off and also tear a bit of her pallu but it didn’t go any further. She’s traumatised and rightly so but she didn’t suffer the same fate as Nandini entirely.
Though given Ekta, Parth or Rio could still have a child pop up out of nowhere from a random woman who claims to have had an affair/fling/ONS with either. We already have an example with Niyati and Rio.
Hilarious how Ansh’s every Ansh is now dead or gone too. Bhoomi doesn’t exist per this season at least so far, they already killed Eklavya after the trolling once Aakashdeep entered and now even Rio was killed.
